The nine self-catered apartments are situated inside a villa built in 1860 by the ancestors of the present owners. The building's beautiful wide terrace faces Porta Romana which is situated near the entrance of Boboli Gardens and the medieval walls. The building has been completely renovated in 2005 and divided into nine single independent units.
